Veterinary Surgeon - Consult only

Overview

Are you seeking a role that seamlessly blends high-quality veterinary care with genuine flexibility? My client in picturesque Lancashire is currently looking for a Small Animal Vet to join their friendly team.

The area offers a balance of countryside and vibrant town life, with excellent transport links to Manchester and Leeds.

About the practice

This well-established, RCVS-accredited practice boasts an excellent client base and a commitment to providing top-notch care for small animals across Lancashire. The practice includes a main hospital, a consulting and operating branch, and a consulting-only branch. The region features historic towns such as Skipton and Clitheroe, and the Ribble Valley and the Pennines offer serene surroundings. Great local amenities and schools make it a fantastic place to live, work, and enjoy life.

The Role

This permanent, full-time position is based mainly from one branch. Flexible working arrangements, including part-time options, are available. This consulting-only role focuses on client interaction and clinical decision-making. If you wish to maintain surgical skills, routine procedures can be included. There are no out-of-hours commitments thanks to the dedicated OOH service at the Colne branch.
